This week you will find 271 DVDs, 32 Blu-ray and one UMD coming out this Tuesday, 11/25 (except where I have a date to indicate that it's a little bit later). I had a LITTLE bit more free time to prepare the list this week, and I'm sure it (doesn't) shows!

Some of these other ones are probably also imports and I just neglected to notice - if you've been following these lists for a while now (did I mention yet we go back to January 2007? Click on the "DVD" thread icon) you can probably spot them yourself, even

Can I stop right here and say there's a suspiciously large number of releases, almost all musical, which were rescheduled for MONDAY? Normally those wouldn't get caught because I go Tuesday to Tuesday, but there's so many here, I'm going to include the stuff which WAS showing a Tuesday release, but was backdated just before press time.

EVERYTHING HERE IS COMING OUT 11/24 (except one) AND ARE NOT A PART OF MY OFFICIAL COUNT FOR THE THREAD TITLE OKAY THANKS BYE(Follows are: 11 DVD, 6 Blu-ray)

First, here are the long-awaited releases of questionable quality and public domain-ed-ness from Alpha Video, in no particular order except in the way Amazon gave 'em to me. If you're REALLY interested in getting more information, click on the oldies.com "O" next to each title.

What the? Who the? Huh? That's gotta be the dumbest thing I've ever seen. If you give it as is, it gives away what's inside the wrapping! If you don't want to give the surprise away, you have to go through the extra effort of removing the outer wrapper (or is it just a sleeve?) that you paid extra to have on there!

And you can't give it for Hanukkah or Kwanzaa because it clearly says it's wrapped for CHRISTMAS!

EDIT: And the Iron Man logo is on the wrapping paper! WHY IS THIS MAKING ME SO ANGRY?!

I never could get into it, great animation and everything. I guess I'm too much of a fan of the original BG Crisis.

Aren't the two stories essentially the same? Just differently animated?
